The net serves as a visible centre line of the court, dividing it into two halves. The net is 8.5m long and 1m wide when hung taut. It is 10cm square mesh. The height of the net is 2.43m for men and 2.24m for women. The posts supporting the net must be rounded and smooth, with a height of 2.55m, preferably adjustable. The posts must be padded.
For official international competitions played during the night, the lighting is 1000 lux−1500 lux measured at 1m above the playing surface.
The playing court is a rectangle measuring 16 x 8 m (smaller than the 18 x 9 m indoor volleyball court), surrounded by a free zone a minimum of 3 m wide and with a space free from any obstruction up to a minimum height of 7m from the playing surface. The terrain must be composed of leveled sand, as flat and uniform as possible, free of rocks, shells and anything else, which can represent risks of cuts or injuries to the players. Two sidelines and two end lines mark the playing court. Both side and end lines are placed inside the dimensions of the playing court. There is no center-line.
The ball shall be spherical, made of a flexible material (leather, synthetic leather, or similar) which does not absorb humidity, i.e. more suitable to outdoor conditions since matches can be played when it is raining. The ball has a bladder inside made of rubber or a similar material. Approval of synthetic leather material is determined by FIVB regulations. The colors shall be bright (such as orange, yellow, pink, white, etc.), the circumference slightly bigger than for indoor (66 to 68 cm for FIVB international competitions), the weight shall be the same (260 to 280 g) and the Inside pressure shall be slightly lower (171 to 221 mbar).

The playing court is rectangular, 16m long by 8m wide. It is surrounded by a free zone a minimum of 3m wide and space free from obstruction up to a height of a minimum of 7m from the playing surface.
The terrain is levelled sand, flat and uniform as possible, free of rocks, shells and anything else to avoid risks of cuts or injuries to the players.
Two sidelines and two endlines mark the playing court. All lines are 5cm−8cm wide and are a colour that contrasts with the colour of the sand. There is no service area designated as players may serve from anywhere across the back line. There is no centre line.
Beach volleyball is fundamentally similar to indoor volleyball: a team scores points by grounding the ball on the opponents' court, or when the opposing team commits a fault (error or illegal action); consecutive contacts must be made by different players.The major differences between beach and indoor volleyball are: Playing surface Team size Scoring system Overhand touches and tips Block counts as a team touch Coaching is not allowed
A team is composed exclusively of two players, who must always be in play and who cannot be subjected to any substitutions or replacement. At the moment the ball is hit by the server, each team must be within its own court (with the exception of the server), but there are no determined positions on the court, such that no positional faults can be committed.
The match is won by the team that wins two sets. A set is won by the first team to reach 21 points with a two-point advantage. In the case of a 20–20 tie, play is continued until a two-point lead is reached. If each team wins a set, the deciding set is played to 15 points, again with a minimum lead of 2 points Whenever a team fails to execute a legal service or to return the ball, or commits any other fault, the opposing team wins the rally, scores a point, and serves to start the following rally.Teams switch ends of the court after every 7 points (set 1 and 2) and 5 points (set 3) played. When the total points are 21 (adding the score of both teams) there is a technical time out.
Hitting the ball over the net
The ball may touch any part of the body, but must be hit, not caught or thrown. In particular, in defensive action of a hard driven ball, the ball can be held momentarily overhand with the fingers.
When receiving a ball from a hit that is not hard driven, the ball must be contacted "cleanly"--if a player receives the ball open-handed, the contact of each hand with the ball must be exactly simultaneous. In practice, this means that serves are never received open-handed. When receiving an opponent's hard-driven attack, a double contact (provided both contacts occur in a single action) and/or a slight lift of the ball is allowed.
When employing an overhead pass as the second of three team touches (usually with the intent of "setting" the ball, so that the other player may make a more effective attack-hit), the standard for a double contact fault is lower than when receiving or attacking, though still much stricter than in indoor volleyball. The standard for a lift fault during an overhand pass is less strict than in indoor games--it is legal to allow the ball to come to rest for a small period of time.
Attack-hits using an “open-handed tip or dink” directing the ball with the fingers are illegal, as are attack-hits using an overhand pass to direct the ball on a trajectory not perpendicular to the line of the shoulders (overhand passes which accidentally cross over the net are an exception). These differences between the rules of indoor volleyball and beach volleyball strongly affect tactics and techniques.
A player indicating that she will block "line" on both sides.
Beach volleyball players use hand signals to indicate the type of block they intend to make. Block signals are made behind the back to hide them from the opposing team. They are usually given with both hands by the serving player's partner prior to the serve, with each hand referring to the type of block that should be put up against an attack from the corresponding opponent. A player may also "wiggle" or "flash" one block signal to indicate which opponent to serve to.
If the server is the designated blocker, he or she may run up to the net to block after serving. Otherwise, the signaling player will perform the block.
Block signals may also be given during a rally while the opposing team is preparing their attack.

* Closed fist
No block should be attempted for the opponent on that side of the court, also known as "pull-off"
* One finger
The blocker should block an opponent's "line" attack, or a ball hit toward the nearest sideline
* Two fingers
The blocker should block an opponent's "angle" attack, or a ball hit diagonally from the net and across the court
* Open hand
The blocker should block "ball," deciding how to block based upon the opposing team's set, and the hitter's approach and arm-swing technique.
